Overview
Job Overview:
A strategic and delivery-focused Cloud Design & Release Manager to lead the architectural design and release management of wireless telecommunications applications—such as voice, data, and signaling—into a Red Hat OpenShift-based private cloud. This role combines deep cloud design expertise with Agile release planning, making it ideal for a manager ready to guide cross-functional teams through the full lifecycle of platform evolution, application onboarding, and operational readiness. Job Responsibilities
Cloud Architecture & Design: Own the end-to-end design of cloud infrastructure and platform services for hosting telecommunications workloads in a Kubernetes-based private cloud. Define and maintain reference architectures, onboarding frameworks, and design standards that enable scalability, security, and operational resilience. Partner with application teams, DevOps, and infrastructure architects to ensure cloud designs meet functional, non-functional, and regulatory requirements. Drive cloud-native modernization of legacy telecom services through containerization, service decomposition, and CI/CD integration. Release Management & Agile Delivery: Lead the Agile-based release planning process, coordinating platform updates, application onboarding milestones, and infrastructure changes across multiple teams. Manage release cycles, backlog grooming, sprint planning, and stakeholder reviews to ensure timely and stable cloud platform evolution. Establish and enforce release governance, including version control, rollback procedures, change documentation, and production readiness reviews. Drive alignment between product roadmaps, engineering capacity, and business priorities through iterative delivery cycles. Leadership & Collaboration: Manage a team of cloud engineers and release coordinators, providing technical leadership, mentorship, and growth opportunities. Foster a culture of collaboration and shared ownership between cloud platform, security, DevOps, and application teams. Champion Agile best practices across teams, promoting continuous improvement, transparency, and value delivery. Process Ownership & Continuous Improvement: Own and evolve key cloud design and release processes, identifying opportunities to increase automation, reduce friction, and improve platform quality. Implement tools and dashboards to track release health, deployment velocity, platform uptime, and design compliance. Coordinate post-release reviews and retrospectives to capture lessons learned and refine future design and release cycles. Strategic Engagement: Serve as a trusted partner to leadership by providing insight into design tradeoffs, release risks, and delivery progress. Translate technical dependencies and roadblocks into actionable decisions and communicate them clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Contribute to broader private cloud strategy and roadmap discussions, ensuring alignment with business goals and operational excellence. Knowledge, Skills and Abilities
Strong background in Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift, and cloud-native architecture design. Experience with Agile methodologies (Scrum, SAFe, or Kanban), particularly in release planning and cross-functional team coordination. Understanding of wireless telecommunications applications and cloud-based network function integration is preferred. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, GitOps, and automated release orchestration tools. Proven ability to lead design reviews, manage delivery timelines, and guide teams through full-lifecycle implementations. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence across technical and business domains. Experience mentoring team members and managing priorities as a people leader is highly valued. Additional requirements include being at least 18 years of age, and being legally authorized to work in the United States.
